Hog killing is all the go now, and we are informed that a man on Pee Dee village killed two hogs a few days ago that were so small that two boys of 5 years each could hold the gamboling sticks while they were being dressed. This is what we have heard, and we would like to hear if it is so. We will soon hear the Christmas bells ringing, but we have not heard of any wedding bells yet. Very seldom it is that a Christmas passes at Pee Die without a weds ding, butit seems likely to be so this time. Well Xmas will soon be here, the day of the Yule log and mis tletoe, and plum pudding, turkey, etc. Every country has its own way of celebrating Xmas. The Yule log had its origin in the Scan dinavian feast of Yuul when they burned huge bon fires in honor of Thor. We discover the descend ants of the Norsemen are doubtless responsible for the custom in Ens gland. They carefully preserved half of the log to be burned at the next Yule tide, and so we have the old English proverb put in poetical form : "Part must be kept wherewith to tend lhe .X.mas log next year. And where 'tis safely kept the fiend tan do no miscbiefhere. This goes to show'that the cus- ; t "Democracy" wishes to 'say to you yl! that he hopes you, will have a merry Xmas and ; happy New Year, as it has been his pleasure to spend many Xmases, several in his own country and several in his adopted country, and it is a glo rious day in all civilized countries and in Writing this my mind wan ders back to under tne mistletoe of nearly fifty years ago, j When the bright Xmas fires are glowing And the field are white with snow, Down beside the fair river Irewell, There comes back the long ago.! From halls and gilded castles j Da I longing llee agaia j To the by-gone dreams ot childhood 'Mid the hills of Lancashire. !
